Old/slow lifts do not really bother me too much but queues do ….. One answer is to jump the queues and get to the front !!!! :twisted:

I found the best thing to do from st anton is ski an hour or 2 first thing, and end up down at Alpe Rauz/Stuben where you can take the bys round to Zurs/Lech/Sonnenkopf mid morning with hardly anyone on the buses.
People complain about busy lifts, buses, restaurants.....go at peak times and what do you expect ????

Personally, I'd spend more time over at Zurs etc from St Anton if there were a good lift link, but I think a lot of people may feel the same, and the slopes at St Anton are absolutely much busier than they are round the corner, and as a result this could result in these becoming busier.

Seems like your coming round to my way of thinking -)

Au contraire Wickers. You complained about the buses being full, and from what I remember you were trying to head off by bus at 8.30am round to Lech.

You guys do make me laugh …. strapping things to your boots ……. HIRE A LOCKER :lol:
